Discover the Lippe District

In the northeastern part of North Rhine-Westphalia lies the diverse district of Lippe, a region where centuries-old history and breathtaking nature blend seamlessly.

Whether you're looking for ultimate relaxation, an active hiking vacation, or fascinating culture, Lippe has it all.

Rising amid the green hills is the impressive Hermann Monument (see photo), a majestic tribute to the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. A little further on, the mystical Externsteine (see photo): a unique rock formation that has fascinated visitors from all over the world for centuries.

At the famous LVR Open-Air Museum Detmold , you’ll literally step back in time. As Germany’s largest open-air museum, it brings historic half-timbered architecture and rural life of yesteryear back to life. Do you need some peace and quiet after taking it all in? The elegant spa town of Bad Salzuflen will pamper you with soothing springs, therapeutic graduation towers, and a charming historic center.

In addition to its rich traditions, Lippe also looks to the future. With Urland , the district is home to Germany’s largest climate park. In the interactive Klimaerlebniswelt , you’ll discover everything about nature, weather, and our climate in an innovative and immersive way—an inspiring outing for young and old alike.
